I just played three pool games with Grandpa Jim and he killed me all three times. I thought that I was decent and might win one, not a chance! He is a killer. I didn’t stand a chance against him and he’s 60! I think I’ll practice some with Uncle Brian when he arrives tonight. Aunt Joan and Cousin Owen left later than expected so they’ll arrive in a couple of hours.

Today we all went and painted the round pen and it still isn’t done. I got to climb to the top and paint the top bar. I probably painted the third most of everyone. Only Grandpa Jim and Mema stayed out until they ran out of paint, I was inside trying to get the green paint off of me! Actually, I still have paint on me and it’s just a touch sticky. That was probably the other problem I had when playing pool (note: for the knowledge of those who aren’t accustomed to Pool it is basically Billiards only slightly different), I think there may have been other factors though. Well I gotta scoot and do other things before Grandpa Jim and Abby get back from the store. Maybe I’ll try fishing.
